    Overview

    Curious how politics shapes the world or if Political Science is right for you? This winter, join the University of Amsterdam’s 10-week online Pre-University Honours Programme: Key Topics in Political Science. Combine self-paced learning with live seminars as you explore subjects like Political Theory, International Relations, Political Economy, and more. A great head start for future studies!

    This online course offers a dynamic introduction to political science, combining the flexibility of self-paced learning with the energy of live, interactive seminars. Designed for students preparing for university, the programme explores key political themes through expert-led sessions and peer discussion. Participants will engage with university-style lectures, readings, and assignments to develop a foundation in current political debates while building their academic reading, writing, and critical thinking skills. 

    Included in the course fees are access to: 

    - 5 live online seminars

    -A minimum of 7 pre-recorded video lectures by our community of experts on the topics listed above.

    -A selection of recommended readings and other materials accessible at the UvA digital library. The opportunity to complete short assignments to help you apply your knowledge.

    The course is structured into five modules, each lasting two weeks. A live online seminar takes place at the end of each module, with Module 1 including an additional introductory session. We aim to schedule the live sessions outside of school hours.

    After completing all the material and assignments, participants will be awarded a certificate of completion. We do not award credits for this programme.
